It’s thin. It’s sharp. It’s back. Motorola’s follow up to its wildly popular Razr made its tech-blog rounds Monday. And the reviews are in.

So, what’s inside this thin-tense device?

“It’s 7.1mm thick.”
“On font here, you’ve got a 4.3inch super AMOLED Advanced qHD touchscreen.”
“On back, there is an 8 megapixel camera and a can-do 1080p HD video.”
“It’s got a dual-core 1.2GHz processor as well as 4G LTE capabilities”

And don’t worry about scratching it. The Motorola Droid Razr is made with Gorilla Glass and has a KEVLAR back. But as a writer from Laptop Magazine points out it’s not the damage-proof features that are most exciting.

“One of the most unique features of the Droid RAZR is MotoCast, a program that lets you stream or download files from a PC over the web to the smartphone. … For example, we could stream iTunes tracks from our computer right to the handset just by firing up the Music app and tapping My Library.”

But all this tapping and streaming will cost you. In initial tests a writer for PCWorld says...

“Though I was using the Razr much more heavily than the average user would (testing data speeds, running apps, and so on), how quickly the battery ran out was still surprising, all the more so considering the big deal Motorola made over battery life conservation.”

And with the upcoming Google Nexus, Android’s flagship phone, Extreme Tech says the Razr has already lost it’s edge.

“The comparison has not been terribly kind to the Razr with its heavily skinned version of Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The Nexus is about to launch with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich(ICS) and marginally better hardware on the same carrier in the US.When it comes down to it, the Razr isn’t future-proof...”

But a witter for SlashGear says form might beat function.

“The DROID RAZR won’t redefine the industry but it will undoubtedly be a fashion favorite, particularly for those who aren’t swayed by the incoming Galaxy Nexus’ slightly chunkier, curved design.”

Razr’s sequel hits stores November 11 and costs $300 with a 2-year contract. But whether or not this blade can out-perform its flip-phone father remains to be seen.
